​I love a good sausage roll!  These are a favourite at our birthday parties and are packed with vegetables and flavour.  Compare the ingredients in these to the ingredients on the packet of sausage rolls in the supermarket - you'll be amazed!
​
These freeze really well for a quick after school snack, picnic or even dinner with a few veggie sticks after sport. you can also freeze the made up mince to use later.  
​I also use the mince mix  to make delicious meatballs too.

Ingredients:
1 onion (peeled and quartered)
2 cloves of garlic clove (peeled)
1 zucchini (roughly chopped)
2 carrots (no need to peel, but chop into 2 cm bits)
1 apple (cored and seeds removed, no need to peel)
a few sprigs of parsley and or basil

75g sweet potato - (I add whatever vegetables I have in the fridge including brocolli stalks)
500g organic beef or pork mince
1 tablespoon of Thermomix vegetable stock (or 1/2 tsp salt)
1/4 tsp cracked pepper (or to taste)
1 egg
1-2 tablespoons chia (or 1 cup of breadcrumbs - use wholemeal bread and blitz in Thermi or processor)
6 sheets puff pastry - cut in half
egg yolk for glazing
Sesame or chia seeds to sprinkle on top

To make:
Thermomix version:
Pre heat oven to 220 C.
Blitz onion and garlic in Thermomix 3 sec/sp 7,
Add veggies and apple into mixing bowl and chop 5 sec/sp 6, scrape sides and repeat as required.
Pop the mixture into the simmering basket and let sit for a few minutes to drain excess liquid - give it a squash down to help it along.  (This is important or you'll find the liquid comes out in the cooking)
Add mince, vegetable mixture , stock/salt, chia/breadcrumbs and eggs   and mix on reverse 10 sec/sp 4 using the spatula to assist with mixing, repeat for 5 secs if necessary until mixture is combined.

Place strips of mix vertical along the halved sheets of puff pastry. Cut sheets in half and roll into sausage roll shape. Cut into desired size pieces and place on lined baking tray with the seam of the pastry face down.  Baste top with a little milk or egg wash and sprinkle with sesame or chia seeds, or a combination.

Cook in a hot oven (220°C) for approx 20 mins until golden on lined baking trays.

Non Thermomix:
Crush garlic and add to onion in food processor, scrape sides.  
Add vegetables and process until veggies are fine.  Pop into a strainer to remove excess liquid, give it a squash down to help it along.  (This is important or you'll find the liquid comes out in the cooking)
Place mince, vegetable mixture and stock/salt, chia/breadcrumbs and eggs in a bowl and combine well.
Place strips of mix vertical along the halved sheets of puff pastry. Cut sheets in half and roll into sausage roll shape. Cut into desired size pieces and place on lined baking tray with the seam of the pastry face down.  Baste top with a little milk or egg wash and sprinkle with sesame or chia seeds, or a combination.


Cook in a hot oven (220°C) for approx 15-20 mins until golden on lined baking trays.
